California - Wine Country

Buena Vista

A Karen Brown Recommendation

Leaving the Sonoma town square, go east on Napa Street for 2 miles to Old Winery Road where you turn left to visit the region’s oldest winery, Buena Vista (18000 Old Winery Road, Sonoma, CA 95476), built in 1857. Nestled in a wooded glen, the old ivy-covered buildings are very picturesque with arched caverns and stone walls. Picnic tables are set under the trees (bring your own food and be prepared for quite a crowd in the summer). Purchase a wine glass and enjoy four tastes for $5. At 2 pm a tour guide gives a presentation of the historical founding of the winery. Open 10 am to 5 pm. 800-926-1266 or 707-938-1266, www.buenavistacarneros.com.
